Cricket is a very popular sport in England, and many of its erstwhile colonies like Australia and has a rich history. With the help of cricket enthusiasts and friends with a passion for cricket, MCA started organizing regular cricket games and training sessions in Melbourne in 2012. Many Mongolian students have been involved in these activities, and some of them became members of the association. Over one hundred Mongolians and Australians have attended the matches and training sessions thus far. Battulga Gombo, the founder of MCA, has become the cricket coach after finishing with Cricket Australia. [3] [4] [5] [6]

Mongolia's education system has undergone colossal changes in the 20th century. The education reforms during communist times were a stark break with traditional education that was often religious and esoteric. These reforms were modeled on Soviet education systems and greatly expanded access to education for Mongolian citizens. Among the changes was a transition from the traditional Mongolian script, from 1941 to 1946, to the Cyrillic alphabet. Literacy was greatly expanded as most of the population enjoyed free primary school. However, the move to democracy and free markets in the 1990s has had some negative impacts on education in Mongolia, though these setbacks have been ameliorated some by an improving economy and policy reforms. Many adults benefit from the non-formal distance education programmes sponsored by the government in conjunction with foreign NGOs. Today education in Mongolia is overseen by the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science.
